Power to be out for 4 hours

[Rechelle Fleck]

I just received notice from my power company that they will be doing upgrades on the 9th and the power will be out for approximately 4 hours. Will a battery operated air stone be sufficient for that time period (yes, I do not normally run an air stone in my tank of course)?

yes, as long as the temp stays good, doesn't get too cold

i have been 12 hours with power out with no ill effects... i did however use a gallon pitcher to scoop and dump water every hour for 5 or 10 minutes

I live in FL so my house is at a steady 77 degrees (concrete block house), so I don't have to worry about it getting too cold.
